Observation of the critical regime near Anderson localization of light
Diffusive transport is among the most common phenomena in nature [1].
However, as predicted by Anderson [2], diffusion may break down due to
interference. This transition from diffusive transport to localization of waves
should occur for any type of classical or quantum wave in any media as long as
the wavelength becomes comparable to the transport mean free path [3].
The signatures of localization and those of absorption, or bound states, can
however be similar, such that an unequivocal proof of the existence of wave
localization in disordered bulk materials is still lacking. Here we present
measurements of time resolved non-classical diffusion of visible light in
strongly scattering samples, which cannot be explained by absorption, sample
geometry or reduction in transport velocity. Deviations from classical
diffusion increase strongly with decreasing as expected for a phase
transition. This constitutes an experimental realization of the critical regime
in the approach to Anderson localization.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Assessment of coupled Zn concentration and natural stable isotope analyses of urine as a novel probe of Zn status
Zinc is a common trace metal in the human body, present in about 10% of proteins. Despite numerous roles of Zn in health and disease, there is still a need for a robust biomarker of Zn status. Many parameters have been proposed, with varying levels of success, with plasma Zn often favoured. This study investigates if Zn status can be assessed from the natural stable Zn isotope composition of urine. To this end, 60 urine samples were analysed from ten healthy participants. Remarkably, samples with lower Zn concentrations are systematically enriched in heavy Zn isotopes. Most of the low-Zn urine originated from individuals who omitted dairy, meat or both from their diets. When data for blood serum from age-matched, healthy individuals are compared with the urine results, the former plot at the extension of the urine trend at higher Zn concentrations and lighter isotope compositions. The observed co-variation of Zn isotope compositions with concentrations is indicative of an isotope fractionation system where both properties are controlled by the same processes. It is interpreted as arising from filtration and/or reabsorption processes within the kidney, which are associated with absorbed dietary Zn. The data suggest that the Zn in blood serum that is bound to low molecular weight molecules has an isotope composition distinct from total serum, due to the different affinities of molecular Zn-binding residues to heavy and light Zn isotopes. This technique provides additional information into an individual's Zn status compared to urine or plasma Zn levels alone
Quantum theory of dynamic multiple light scattering
We formulate a quantum theory of dynamic multiple light scattering in
fluctuating disordered media and calculate the fluctuation and the
autocorrelation function of photon number operator for light transmitted
through a disordered slab. The effect of disorder on the information capacity
of a quantum communication channel operating in a disordered environment is
estimated and the use of squeezed light in diffusing-wave spectroscopy is
discussed.Comment: Revised text, additional figur
Resolved Depletion Zones and Spatial Differentiation of N2H+ and N2D+
We present a study on the spatial distribution of N2D+ and N2H+ in thirteen
protostellar systems. Eight of thirteen objects observed with the IRAM 30m
telescope show relative offsets between the peak N2D+ (J=2-1) and N2H+ (J=1-0)
emission. We highlight the case of L1157 using interferometric observations
from the Submillimeter Array and Plateau de Bure Interferometer of the N2D+
(J=3-2) and N2H+ (J=1-0) transitions respectively. Depletion of N2D+ in L1157
is clearly observed inside a radius of ~2000 AU (7") and the N2H+ emission is
resolved into two peaks at radii of ~1000 AU (3.5"), inside the depletion
region of N2D+. Chemical models predict a depletion zone in N2H+ and N2D+ due
to destruction of H2D+ at T ~ 20 K and the evaporation of CO off dust grains at
the same temperature. However, the abundance offsets of 1000 AU between the two
species are not reproduced by chemical models, including a model that follows
the infall of the protostellar envelope. The average abundance ratios of N2D+
to N2H+ have been shown to decrease as protostars evolve by Emprechtinger et
al., but this is the first time depletion zones of N2D+ have been spatially
resolved. We suggest that the difference in depletion zone radii for N2H+ and
N2D+ is caused by either the CO evaporation temperature being above 20 K or an
H2 ortho-to-para ratio gradient in the inner envelope.Comment: Accepted to ApJ. 44 pages 13 Figure
GGD 37: An Extreme Protostellar Outflow
We present the first Spitzer-IRS spectral maps of the Herbig-Haro flow GGD 37 detected in lines of [Ne III], [O IV], [Ar III], and [Ne v]. The detection of extended [O IV] (55 eV) and some extended emission in [Ne v] (97 eV) indicates a shock temperature in excess of 100,000 K, in agreement with X-ray observations, and a shock speed in excess of 200 km s(-1). The presence of an extended photoionization or collisional ionization region indicates that GGD 37 is a highly unusual protostellar outflow.Jet Propulsion Laboratory, under NASA 1407NASA 1257184Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) 960803University of Rochester 31419-5714Astronom
Harmonic lattice behavior of two-dimensional colloidal crystals
Using positional data from video-microscopy and applying the equipartition
theorem for harmonic Hamiltonians, we determine the wave-vector-dependent
normal mode spring constants of a two-dimensional colloidal model crystal and
compare the measured band-structure to predictions of the harmonic lattice
theory. We find good agreement for both the transversal and the longitudinal
mode. For , the measured spring constants are consistent with the
elastic moduli of the crystal.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitte
Dynamic Glass Transition in Two Dimensions
The question about the existence of a structural glass transition in two
dimensions is studied using mode coupling theory (MCT). We determine the
explicit d-dependence of the memory functional of mode coupling for
one-component systems. Applied to two dimensions we solve the MCT equations
numerically for monodisperse hard discs. A dynamic glass transition is found at
a critical packing fraction phi_c^{d=2} = 0.697 which is above phi_c^{d=3} =
0.516 by about 35%. phi^d_c scales approximately with phi^d_{\rm rcp} the value
for random close packing, at least for d=2, 3. Quantities characterizing the
local, cooperative 'cage motion' do not differ much for d=2 and d=3, and we
e.g. find the Lindemann criterion for the localization length at the glass
transition. The final relaxation obeys the superposition principle, collapsing
remarkably well onto a Kohlrausch law. The d=2 MCT results are in qualitative
agreement with existing results from MC and MD simulations. The mean squared
displacements measured experimentally for a quasi-two-dimensional binary system
of dipolar hard spheres can be described satisfactorily by MCT for monodisperse
hard discs over four decades in time provided the experimental control
parameter Gamma (which measures the strength of dipolar interactions) and the
packing fraction phi are properly related to each other.Comment: 14 pages, 15 figure
